These devices, which can be standalone switches or integrated into a blade on an enterprise class switch, are useful for the management and control of WLAN access points.

Elephant garlic (Allium ampeloprasum) is the source of much confusion and the issue of elephant vs normal size garlic is one with a counter-intuitive outcome.
